Every business needs a few registrations before it can bill a customer, open a current account or list on a marketplace. Taking the wrong one, or taking it in the wrong category, costs time later. We first identify what your activity actually requires, and then obtain it with complete documents so that the application is not sent back with queries.

FSSAI: which category applies to you
Every food business, including manufacturers, traders, restaurants, cloud kitchens, home bakers and online food sellers, needs an FSSAI registration or licence. From 1 April 2026 the turnover limits have been revised:
- Registration:
annual turnover up to ₹1.5 crore - State licence:
annual turnover above ₹1.5 crore and up to ₹50 crore - Central licence:
annual turnover above ₹50 crore
Turnover is not the only test. Certain activities need a State or Central licence whatever the turnover, and each premises needs its own registration or licence. We check your kind of business against the eligibility criteria before applying, and also help existing licence holders move to the correct category under the revised limits.
Why Udyam registration matters
- It establishes your status as a micro, small or medium enterprise, based on investment in plant and machinery and on turnover
- Buyers are required to pay micro and small enterprises within the time fixed by law, and delayed payments have tax consequences for the buyer
- It is commonly asked for by banks for loans under schemes meant for small businesses
- It is needed for many government tenders and for benefits under schemes for small enterprises
A typical starting kit
What you need depends on what you do. As a guide:
- Trader or online seller:
GST registration, Udyam registration and a current account; FSSAI if the products are food - Restaurant, bakery or food unit:
FSSAI registration or licence, GST where applicable, shops and establishments registration and Udyam - Service provider or consultant:
GST once the threshold is crossed or where clients require it, and Udyam - Exporter:
GST registration, Import Export Code, Letter of Undertaking and the registrations specific to the product
Frequently asked questions
Do I need GST registration from the first day?
Not always. Registration becomes compulsory once aggregate turnover crosses the threshold for your State and type of supply, and in certain cases from the start, such as most sales through online marketplaces. Many businesses also register voluntarily because their customers want tax invoices.
Is Udyam registration compulsory?
It is not compulsory, but it is required to be recognised as a micro, small or medium enterprise and to claim the protections and benefits available to such enterprises.
I run a food business from home. Is FSSAI needed?
Yes. Home-based food businesses also need FSSAI registration. Most small home businesses fall in the registration category, which has the simplest process.
How long do these registrations take?
It differs for each registration and depends on verification by the department concerned. Complete and consistent documents are the biggest factor in avoiding delay, which is why we check them before filing.
